I've seen some discussion about how to contextualize this as the patriarchy hurting men or women. It's men. Surprise, the patriarchy isn't really set up to the benefit of men, just some men. The rest of us are expendable, even if our females aren't. It's obviously never been true that any system could keep women off the battlefield, because the battlefield ends up being where people are. Insomuch as the societal expectations and compulsory service specifics have traditionally exploited men for this labor, that's just that.
I think we could split the baby if we took field in one hand and command in the other. As they exploited males, they simultaneously excluded female strategists for whom none of the traditional (and already tenuous) arguments apply. Chewing up boys and spitting out girls.
